Dog: "It was an honor to be spoofed"

Duane 'Dog' Chapman has said he was honored to be spoofed by the creators of South Park.

The Dog The Bounty Hunter protagonist said the animated portrayal of his wife Beth as a giant pair of breasts made him "laugh so hard".

"The funniest bit is when I say 'Beth, mace them' and she maces everybody. It was an honor to be spoofed like that," said the former jailbird, who has also been parodied in an episode of The Simpsons in which Homer becomes a bounty hunter.

Chapman, who served 18 months of a five-year jail sentence for accessory to murder in 1977, said prison 'turned his life around'.

"The camaraderie is fine, they feed you for free. But there's no girls. There's none, brother. If there were girls I would have stayed," he told The Guardian.
